According to the Russian TELEVISION (RT) reported on the 11th, the American comedian Rob Schneider seems to be calling on the American people to use the "gun right" granted by the Second Amendment of the Constitution to protect themselves from the impact of the new crown vaccination work, which has caused controversy on American social media.

On July 10, local time, in response to the news that Pfizer wants to launch a new crown vaccine enhancer (a third dose of enhancer), Schneider expressed his anger, and he called on his fans on Twitter to say "no" to the vaccine.

Schneider tweeted, "More than half of Americans continue to say no to this unapproved experimental gene therapy!" My body, my choice! In a subsequent tweet, Schneider denounced what he called an "unprecedented coercive act" used to push Americans to get vaccinated. Hospitals across the U.S. require staff to be vaccinated, and more than 500 U.S. universities have adopted similar policies. While vaccination remains voluntary for most Americans, U.S. President Joe Biden recently promised to "knock on the door" to vaccinate those who have not yet been vaccinated.
Many Twitter users questioned Schneider's inflammatory remarks, with some wondering whether the comedian was advising Americans to "shoot" the coronavirus over opting for vaccinations.

Some netizens commented, "When doctors prescribe cortidine or other prescription drugs with a higher incidence of side effects, no one threatens to shoot the doctor." What's the point about COVID-19 that makes these people angry? "The Second Amendment is concerning ... Voluntary vaccinations? Do you want to start a civil war to protect the virus? ”
Others say the COVID-19 vaccine, which has been granted emergency use authorization in the U.S. but is still awaiting approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is completely safe, and schneider's different proposal is life-threatening. Some have also accused Schneider of spreading false information by describing the MNRA vaccine as a "gene therapy," although medical experts have repeatedly emphasized that the Pfizer and Modena vaccines are not related to gene therapy.
However, not all American netizens booed the comedian's remarks. Many thanked Schneider for his speech, and some described him as a "voice of reason." (Editor: HHJ)
